It will now be easier for mobile users to identify spam, junk and marketing calls. Actually, now along with the number, the name of the caller will also be visible on the calling screen. For this, the Department of Telecommunications and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) have instructed telecom companies to start this service in any circle within a week. As soon as this service starts, the name as well as the number of the caller will start appearing.
Fraud will be controlled
The name visible on the caller screen will be the same as the user mentioned in his ID while purchasing the mobile number. This will be a default feature and if a user does not want to use it then he will have to deactivate it. Let us tell you that telecom companies have conducted trials regarding this service in Mumbai and Haryana last year.
TRAI accepted the advice of Department of Telecommunications
In February last year, TRAI had recommended this service named ‘Calling Name Presentation’ to the Department of Telecommunications. TRAI had said that it should be activated only when the user receiving the call requests for it. Responding to this, the Department of Telecommunications told TRAI that this service should be the default. If a user does not want to use it then he can deactivate it. TRAI has accepted this advice of the department.
Fraud calls can be controlled
This step of TRAI and Department of Telecommunications is expected to curb fraud calls. Now even before the user picks up the call, he will know whether someone he knows is calling or an unknown person is trying to contact him. In this way people will not fall into the trap of hackers and scammers and will be safe from cyber crimes.
